Patch series "Deferred page init improvements", v7. This patchset is essentially a refactor of the page initialization logic that is meant to provide for better code reuse while providing a significant improvement in deferred page initialization performance. In my testing on an x86_64 system with 384GB of RAM I have seen the following. In the case of regular memory initialization the deferred init time was decreased from 3.75s to 1.38s on average. This amounts to a 172% improvement for the deferred memory initialization performance. I have called out the improvement observed with each patch. This patch (of 4): Use the same approach that was already in use on Sparc on all the architectures that support a 64b long. This is mostly motivated by the fact that 7 to 10 store/move instructions are likely always going to be faster than having to call into a function that is not specialized for handling page init. An added advantage to doing it this way is that the compiler can get away with combining writes in the __init_single_page call. As a result the memset call will be reduced to only about 4 write operations, or at least that is what I am seeing with GCC 6.2 as the flags, LRU pointers, and count/mapcount seem to be cancelling out at least 4 of the 8 assignments on my system. One change I had to make to the function was to reduce the minimum page size to 56 to support some powerpc64 configurations. This change should introduce no change on SPARC since it already had this code. In the case of x86_64 I saw a reduction from 3.75s to 2.80s when initializing 384GB of RAM per node. Pavel Tatashin tested on a system with Broadcom's Stingray CPU and 48GB of RAM and found that __init_single_page() takes 19.30ns / 64-byte struct page before this patch and with this patch it takes 17.33ns / 64-byte struct page. Mike Rapoport ran a similar test on a OpenPower (S812LC 8348-21C) with Power8 processor and 128GB or RAM. His results per 64-byte struct page were 4.68ns before, and 4.59ns after this patch.

Recently I messed up the error handling in filemap_fault() because of an unexpected ENOMEM (related to cgroup memory limits) in add_to_page_cache. Enable error injection at this point so I can add a testcase to xfstests to verify I don't mess this up again.

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening This patch is just passing down the new informations by adding it to the mmu_notifier_range structure.

Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call.

This patch introduce a set of enums that can be associated with each of the events triggering a mmu notifier. Latter patches take advantages of those enum values. - UNMAP: munmap() or mremap() - CLEAR: page table is cleared (migration, compaction, reclaim, ...) - PROTECTION_VMA: change in access protections for the range - PROTECTION_PAGE: change in access protections for page in the range - SOFT_DIRTY: soft dirtyness tracking Being able to identify munmap() and mremap() from other reasons why the page table is cleared is important to allow user of mmu notifier to update their own internal tracking structure accordingly (on munmap or mremap it is not longer needed to track range of virtual address as it becomes invalid).

Patch series "mmu notifier provide context informations", v6. Here I am not posting users of this, they already have been posted to appropriate mailing list [6] and will be merge through the appropriate tree once this patchset is upstream. Note that this serie does not change any behavior for any existing code. It just pass down more information to mmu notifier listener. The rationale for this patchset: CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). This patchset introduce a set of enums that can be associated with each of the events triggering a mmu notifier: - UNMAP: munmap() or mremap() - CLEAR: page table is cleared (migration, compaction, reclaim, ...) - PROTECTION_VMA: change in access protections for the range - PROTECTION_PAGE: change in access protections for page in the range - SOFT_DIRTY: soft dirtyness tracking Being able to identify munmap() and mremap() from other reasons why the page table is cleared is important to allow user of mmu notifier to update their own internal tracking structure accordingly (on munmap or mremap it is not longer needed to track range of virtual address as it becomes invalid). Without this serie, driver are force to assume that every notification is an munmap which triggers useless trashing within drivers that associate structure with range of virtual address. Each driver is force to free up its tracking structure and then restore it on next device page fault. With this series we can also optimize device page table update. Patches to use this are at https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/833 https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/834 https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/832 https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/23/831 Moreover this can also be used to optimize out some page table updates such as for KVM where we can update the secondary MMU directly from the callback instead of clearing it.

The device driver can have kernel thread or worker doing work against a process mm and it is useful for those to test wether the mm is dead or alive to avoid doing useless work. Add an helper to test that so that driver can bail out early if a process is dying. Note that the helper does not perform any lock synchronization and thus is just a hint ie a process might be dying but the helper might still return the process as alive. All HMM functions are safe to use in that case as HMM internal properly protect itself with lock. If driver use this helper with non HMM functions it should ascertain that it is safe to do so.

HMM mirror is a device driver helpers to mirror range of virtual address. It means that the process jobs running on the device can access the same virtual address as the CPU threads of that process. This patch adds support for mirroring mapping of file that are on a DAX block device (ie range of virtual address that is an mmap of a file in a filesystem on a DAX block device). There is no reason to not support such case when mirroring virtual address on a device. Note that unlike GUP code we do not take page reference hence when we back-off we have nothing to undo.

The HMM mirror API can be use in two fashions. The first one where the HMM user coalesce multiple page faults into one request and set flags per pfns for of those faults. The second one where the HMM user want to pre-fault a range with specific flags. For the latter one it is a waste to have the user pre-fill the pfn arrays with a default flags value. This patch adds a default flags value allowing user to set them for a range without having to pre-fill the pfn array.

A common use case for HMM mirror is user trying to mirror a range and before they could program the hardware it get invalidated by some core mm event. Instead of having user re-try right away to mirror the range provide a completion mechanism for them to wait for any active invalidation affecting the range. This also changes how hmm_range_snapshot() and hmm_range_fault() works by not relying on vma so that we can drop the mmap_sem when waiting and lookup the vma again on retry.

hugetlb uses a fault mutex hash table to prevent page faults of the same pages concurrently. The key for shared and private mappings is different. Shared keys off address_space and file index. Private keys off mm and virtual address. Consider a private mappings of a populated hugetlbfs file. A fault will map the page from the file and if needed do a COW to map a writable page. Hugetlbfs hole punch uses the fault mutex to prevent mappings of file pages. It uses the address_space file index key. However, private mappings will use a different key and could race with this code to map the file page. This causes problems (BUG) for the page cache remove code as it expects the page to be unmapped. A sample stack is: page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page)) kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:169! ... RIP: 0010:unaccount_page_cache_page+0x1b8/0x200 ...

Since every hugetlb mapping (even anon and private) is actually a file mapping, just use the address_space index key for all mappings. This results in potentially more hash collisions. However, this should not be the common case.

When a huge page is allocated, PagePrivate() is set if the allocation consumed a reservation. When freeing a huge page, PagePrivate is checked. If set, it indicates the reservation should be restored. PagePrivate being set at free huge page time mostly happens on error paths. When huge page reservations are created, a check is made to determine if the mapping is associated with an explicitly mounted filesystem. If so, pages are also reserved within the filesystem. The default action when freeing a huge page is to decrement the usage count in any associated explicitly mounted filesystem. However, if the reservation is to be restored the reservation/use count within the filesystem should not be decrementd. Otherwise, a subsequent page allocation and free for the same mapping location will cause the file filesystem usage to go 'negative'. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on nodev 4.0G -4.0M 4.1G - /opt/hugepool To fix, when freeing a huge page do not adjust filesystem usage if PagePrivate() is set to indicate the reservation should be restored. I did not cc stable as the problem has been around since reserves were added to hugetlbfs and nobody has noticed.

NODEMASK_ALLOC is used to allocate a nodemask bitmap, and it does it by first determining whether it should be allocated on the stack or dynamically, depending on NODES_SHIFT. Right now, it goes the dynamic path whenever the nodemask_t is above 32 bytes. Although we could bump it to a reasonable value, the largest a nodemask_t can get is 128 bytes, so since __nr_hugepages_store_common is called from a rather short stack we can just get rid of the NODEMASK_ALLOC call here. This reduces some code churn and complexity. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190402133415.21983-1-osalvador@suse.deSigned-off-by:

The number of node specific huge pages can be set via a file such as: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages When a node specific value is specified, the global number of huge pages must also be adjusted. This adjustment is calculated as the specified node specific value + (global value - current node value). If the node specific value provided by the user is large enough, this calculation could overflow an unsigned long leading to a smaller than expected number of huge pages. To fix, check the calculation for overflow. If overflow is detected, use ULONG_MAX as the requested value. This is inline with the user request to allocate as many huge pages as possible. It was also noticed that the above calculation was done outside the hugetlb_lock. Therefore, the values could be inconsistent and result in underflow. To fix, the calculation is moved within the routine set_max_huge_pages() where the lock is held. In addition, the code in __nr_hugepages_store_common() which tries to handle the case of not being able to allocate a node mask would likely result in incorrect behavior. Luckily, it is very unlikely we will ever take this path. If we do, simply return ENOMEM. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190328220533.19884-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.comSigned-off-by:

342332e6 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option") and later patches rewrote the calculation of node spanned pages. e506b996 ("mem-hotplug: fix node spanned pages when we have a movable node"), but the current code still has problems, When we have a node with only zone_movable and the node id is not zero, the size of node spanned pages is double added. That's because we have an empty normal zone, and zone_start_pfn or zone_end_pfn is not between arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn and arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn, so we need to use clamp to constrain the range just like the commit <96e907d1> (bootmem: Reimplement __absent_pages_in_range() using for_each_mem_pfn_range()). e.g. Zone ranges: DMA [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000ffffff] DMA32 [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x00000000ffffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000023fffffff] Movable zone start for each node Node 0: 0x0000000100000000 Node 1: 0x0000000140000000 Early memory node ranges node 0: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffdffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff] node 0 DMA spanned:0xfff present:0xf9e absent:0x61 node 0 DMA32 spanned:0xff000 present:0xbefe0 absent:0x40020 node 0 Normal spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 0 Movable spanned:0x40000 present:0x40000 absent:0 On node 0 totalpages(node_present_pages): 1048446 node_spanned_pages:1310719 node 1 DMA spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 DMA32 spanned:0 present:0 absent:0 node 1 Normal spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 node 1 Movable spanned:0x100000 present:0x100000 absent:0 On node 1 totalpages(node_present_pages): 2097152 node_spanned_pages:2097152 Memory: 6967796K/12582392K available (16388K kernel code, 3686K rwdata, 4468K rodata, 2160K init, 10444K bss, 5614596K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) It shows that the current memory of node 1 is double added.

Regarding mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin, sc.may_writepage is !laptop_mode, that's a static setting, and reclaim_idx is derived from gfp_mask which is already show in this tracepoint. Regarding mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin, may_writepage is !laptop_mode too, and reclaim_idx is (MAX_NR_ZONES-1), which are both static value. mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin is the same with mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin.

MADV_DONTNEED is handled with mmap_sem taken in read mode. We call page_mkclean without holding mmap_sem. MADV_DONTNEED implies that pages in the region are unmapped and subsequent access to the pages in that range is handled as a new page fault. This implies that if we don't have parallel access to the region when MADV_DONTNEED is run we expect those range to be unallocated. w.r.t page_mkclean() we need to make sure that we don't break the MADV_DONTNEED semantics. MADV_DONTNEED check for pmd_none without holding pmd_lock. This implies we skip the pmd if we temporarily mark pmd none. Avoid doing that while marking the page clean. Keep the sequence same for dax too even though we don't support MADV_DONTNEED for dax mapping The bug was noticed by code review and I didn't observe any failures w.r.t test run.

A discussion of the overall problem is below. As mentioned in patch 0001, the steps are to fix the problem are: 1) Provide put_user_page*() routines, intended to be used for releasing pages that were pinned via get_user_pages*(). 2) Convert all of the call sites for get_user_pages*(), to invoke put_user_page*(), instead of put_page(). This involves dozens of call sites, and will take some time. 3) After (2) is complete, use get_user_pages*() and put_user_page*() to implement tracking of these pages. This tracking will be separate from the existing struct page refcounting. 4) Use the tracking and identification of these pages, to implement special handling (especially in writeback paths) when the pages are backed by a filesystem. Overview ======== Some kernel components (file systems, device drivers) need to access memory that is specified via process virtual address. For a long time, the API to achieve that was get_user_pages ("GUP") and its variations. However, GUP has critical limitations that have been overlooked; in particular, GUP does not interact correctly with filesystems in all situations. That means that file-backed memory + GUP is a recipe for potential problems, some of which have already occurred in the field. GUP was first introduced for Direct IO (O_DIRECT), allowing filesystem code to get the struct page behind a virtual address and to let storage hardware perform a direct copy to or from that page. This is a short-lived access pattern, and as such, the window for a concurrent writeback of GUP'd page was small enough that there were not (we think) any reported problems. Also, userspace was expected to understand and accept that Direct IO was not synchronized with memory-mapped access to that data, nor with any process address space changes such as munmap(), mremap(), etc. Over the years, more GUP uses have appeared (virtualization, device drivers, RDMA) that can keep the pages they get via GUP for a long period of time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, ...). This long-term pinning makes an underlying design problem more obvious. In fact, there are a number of key problems inherent to GUP: Interactions with file systems ============================== File systems expect to be able to write back data, both to reclaim pages, and for data integrity. Allowing other hardware (NICs, GPUs, etc) to gain write access to the file memory pages means that such hardware can dirty the pages, without the filesystem being aware. This can, in some cases (depending on filesystem, filesystem options, block device, block device options, and other variables), lead to data corruption, and also to kernel bugs of the form: kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899! backtrace: ext4_writepage __writepage write_cache_pages ext4_writepages do_writepages __writeback_single_inode writeback_sb_inodes __writeback_inodes_wb wb_writeback wb_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork ...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer heads attached: ({ \ BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \ ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \ }) Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear: "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one. How long the GUP reference lasts is irrelevant, if the page is clean and you need to dirty it, you must call ->page_mkwrite before it is marked writeable and dirtied. Every. Time." This is just one symptom of the larger design problem: real filesystems that actually write to a backing device, do not actually support get_user_pages() being called on their pages, and letting hardware write directly to those pages--even though that pattern has been going on since about 2005 or so. Long term GUP ============= Long term GUP is an issue when FOLL_WRITE is specified to GUP (so, a writeable mapping is created), and the pages are file-backed. That can lead to filesystem corruption. What happens is that when a file-backed page is being written back, it is first mapped read-only in all of the CPU page tables; the file system then assumes that nobody can write to the page, and that the page content is therefore stable. Unfortunately, the GUP callers generally do not monitor changes to the CPU pages tables; they instead assume that the following pattern is safe (it's not): get_user_pages() Hardware can keep a reference to those pages for a very long time, and write to it at any time. Because "hardware" here means "devices that are not a CPU", this activity occurs without any interaction with the kernel's file system code. for each page set_page_dirty put_page() In fact, the GUP documentation even recommends that pattern. Anyway, the file system assumes that the page is stable (nothing is writing to the page), and that is a problem: stable page content is necessary for many filesystem actions during writeback, such as checksum, encryption, RAID striping, etc. Furthermore, filesystem features like COW (copy on write) or snapshot also rely on being able to use a new page for as memory for that memory range inside the file. Corruption during write back is clearly possible here. To solve that, one idea is to identify pages that have active GUP, so that we can use a bounce page to write stable data to the filesystem. The filesystem would work on the bounce page, while any of the active GUP might write to the original page. This would avoid the stable page violation problem, but note that it is only part of the overall solution, because other problems remain. Other filesystem features that need to replace the page with a new one can be inhibited for pages that are GUP-pinned. This will, however, alter and limit some of those filesystem features. The only fix for that would be to require GUP users to monitor and respond to CPU page table updates. Subsystems such as ODP and HMM do this, for example. This aspect of the problem is still under discussion. Direct IO ========= Direct IO can cause corruption, if userspace does Direct-IO that writes to a range of virtual addresses that are mmap'd to a file. The pages written to are file-backed pages that can be under write back, while the Direct IO is taking place. Here, Direct IO races with a write back: it calls GUP before page_mkclean() has replaced the CPU pte with a read-only entry. The race window is pretty small, which is probably why years have gone by before we noticed this problem: Direct IO is generally very quick, and tends to finish up before the filesystem gets around to do anything with the page contents. However, it's still a real problem. The solution is to never let GUP return pages that are under write back, but instead, force GUP to take a write fault on those pages. That way, GUP will properly synchronize with the active write back. This does not change the required GUP behavior, it just avoids that race. Details ======= Introduces put_user_page(), which simply calls put_page(). This provides a way to update all get_user_pages*() callers, so that they call put_user_page(), instead of put_page(). Also introduces put_user_pages(), and a few dirty/locked variations, as a replacement for release_pages(), and also as a replacement for open-coded loops that release multiple pages. These may be used for subsequent performance improvements, via batching of pages to be released. This is the first step of fixing a problem (also described in [1] and [2]) with interactions between get_user_pages ("gup") and filesystems. Problem description: let's start with a bug report. Below, is what happens sometimes, under memory pressure, when a driver pins some pages via gup, and then marks those pages dirty, and releases them. Note that the gup documentation actually recommends that pattern. The problem is that the filesystem may do a writeback while the pages were gup-pinned, and then the filesystem believes that the pages are clean. So, when the driver later marks the pages as dirty, that conflicts with the filesystem's page tracking and results in a BUG(), like this one that I experienced: kernel BUG at /build/linux-fQ94TU/linux-4.4.0/fs/ext4/inode.c:1899! backtrace: ext4_writepage __writepage write_cache_pages ext4_writepages do_writepages __writeback_single_inode writeback_sb_inodes __writeback_inodes_wb wb_writeback wb_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork ...which is due to the file system asserting that there are still buffer heads attached: ({ \ BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \ ((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \ }) Dave Chinner's description of this is very clear: "The fundamental issue is that ->page_mkwrite must be called on every write access to a clean file backed page, not just the first one.

Patch series "Fix free/allocation of runtime gigantic pages", v8. This series fixes sh and sparc that did not advertise their gigantic page support and then were not able to allocate and free those pages at runtime. It renames MEMORY_ISOLATION && COMPACTION || CMA condition into the more accurate CONTIG_ALLOC, since it allows the definition of alloc_contig_range function. Finally, it then fixes the wrong definition of ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE config that, without MEMORY_ISOLATION && COMPACTION || CMA defined, did not allow architectures to free boottime allocated gigantic pages although unrelated. This patch (of 4): sh actually supports gigantic pages and selecting ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE allows it to allocate and free gigantic pages at runtime. At least sdk7786_defconfig exposes such a configuration with huge pages of 64MB, pages of 4KB and MAX_ORDER = 11: HPAGE_SHIFT (26) - PAGE_SHIFT (12) = 14 >= MAX_ORDER (11) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190327063626.18421-2-alex@ghiti.frSigned-off-by:
